Crab Cottage

Nice, cozy and clean house with a good location.

Lovely stay.

Great location and great home.

We have stayed at crab cottage before but this was our first Christmas stay and it didn’t disappoint.

The house was decorated for the festivities and we were spoiled with a beautiful gift. My only minor complaint would be there was no corkscrew ! Other than that the stay was perfect

We had a lovely holiday at Crab Cottage.

Thank you.

We had a lovely week in Crab Cottage which was beautifully fitted out.

Our only criticism is of the garden furniture. It is very old and worn and one chair is broken. In the pictures of the cottage it shows a lounger which would have made all the difference because the chairs were very uncomfortable. Also the recycling issue needs to be addressed. There is no house collection and nowhere in Salcombe now to put your recycling as the Gould Road recycling no longer exists, and we couldn’t find anywhere else in Salcombe. We took our recycling home with us! Other than that we loved the cottage.

Love this accommodation and location Everything good Two points to note Shame parking spot is too small Garden furniture needs replacing Otherwise all good and booked for next year

Lovely cottage, deceptively spacious, has everything you need.

Lovely cottage, ideally placed to explore Salcombe.

Really lovely and everything as expected.

Thank you very much

We had a little bit of a rocky start, but by Monday this was sorted by the management company for the property.

Parking was not a problem this week, as no one was next door. I parked outside the cottage all week and no trouble getting into space with a small Honda. There are two local carparks, Shadycombe (max 14 hours) and Creek car park which has a 24 hour car park. Most things were in the cottage that we needed. The cottage was warm enough in the day, but at times it did feel a little chilly at night (October). The radiators in the bathrooms, on the first floor and loft spaces were easy to use with the instructions. The living spaces and the bedrooms could do with some blankets, on sofas and ends of beds to use in the evenings. We had to use the additional duvets from the other beds for the bedrooms. The oven worked a treat, just needed a light as I think it has gone. We enjoyed Salcombe.

Thank you we had a wonderful stay

Lovely place and great position, would definitely go back.

A lovely cottage with an excellent location for visiting Salcombe.

We were able to park in the cottage's parking space with our Yaris cross (please note other reviews). The kitchen was well equipped and the cottage lovely and clean and welcoming. It was warm on a chilly and wet spring day. The two twin beds in the front bedroom were very firm. We enjoyed our stay a lot. Thank you.

The overall appearance of the cottage looked great & lovely decor too.

Plus great location! BUT its a shame the owners didn't listen to past feedback of the king size bed being so uncomfortable! There appeared to be a ridge down the centre & also sloped down on one side - very odd. So from lack of sleep after lovely days out - it gave a bitter taste to the stay. We had to leave a couple of days earlier to get home for some rest (such a shame). The parking space definitely will only fit a mini.

Lovely cottage the only disappointing thing was the outdoor space.

Very sparce.

Very nice nice cottage well equipped and well decorated but the parking place is very small and next door was parked too far forward so it was difficult to park

Had a lovely break cottage was really cosy had everything we needed for our stay car park was full most days so luckily as there was no-one in the next door cottage it wasn't a problem to park would imagine it would be a nightmare in peak season

I have stayed here before and love it but there are two things that need updating-the car parking ‘space’ doesn’t fit a mini so I think you need to be clear on that.

Also the double bed at the top of the house needs replacing it is beyond uncomfortable.

The cottage is lovely and suited us well.

It was very useful having the tumble dryer! The parking at the front of the property is only suitable for a medium sized car and not a large 4 x 4 as it overhangs the neighbours parking so we parked in the main car park. Overall a comfortable and cost cottage.

A few people have complained that the parking space is too small to fit a regular size car.

This is not true, we parked our large 4x4 next to the house the whole time so a regular sized car will easily fit so don’t let the parking put you off booking it. However there are plenty of car parks in Salcombe. The location of the cottage is excellent as you can easily walk to most places in Salcombe. The kitchen is fully equipped with absolutely everything you need to do cooking and laundry if needed. There’s also a supermarket very close by. The cottage is nicely decorated and comfortable although does need a paint freshen up but is very clean which is the main thing for us. Overall very happy with our stay and would re-book Crab Cottage.

Bed in upstairs bedroom needs replacing as very uncomfortable.

Main disappointment was the advertised parking. There is no parking for a normal to large size car. If we had of been able to park outside the property, the continual flow of work lorries parked in the middle of the single track road would have meant we could not get in or out of the space!! Very disappointed and parking space should not be advertised or owner should provide a permit for the car park.

Enjoyed our time at crab cottage but feel lounge needs better lighting/ lamps and seating could be more comfortable.

This is the second time that we have stayed recently at Crab cottage and on both occasions we have had a super break.

The cottage has everything you need for a warm and comfortable winter stay.

Overall we were very pleased with Crab cottage other than the king size mattress is in need of changing and the 2 sofas,although were comfortable are looking quite grubby.

Plus there were some heavy stainage on the wall in the master bedroom,not sure whether it was damp due to the heavy rain storms that week Also the pots and pans are looking very tired and need changing. Overall a very warm,cozy and quiet cottage.....and would stay there again.

Parking is a little tight!

we were lucky because it was October and we had a little more flexibility than we would have had at peak I would suggest that you get a weekly pass for creek car park in high season. The house is fab, one of the best I have stayed in over 9 years, great location and so comfortable. Every need has been thought of and although we didn’t use the patio area because of the time of year it was lovely and well laid out. I will definitely look out for this property again.

The cottage is extremely well equipped everything was thought of, the location is excellent.

This is the third time we have stayed at Crabb cottage and we have already booked to stay there next year.

Lovely cottage, very comfortable and well equipped.

Enjoyed time in the garden feeding the resident robin! Very easy walk into the town with plenty of local shops and terrific views across the water. There is no weekly rate for car parking just a 24 hour ticket if you car won’t fit the space but that’s the only drawback in an otherwise great holiday setting.

This is a brilliant house with far more and far better facilities and space than I ever imagined from the photos or the street view.

Immaculately maintained and incredibly well equipped - please don't book here because I want to go again!

Excellent

Great location, layout, décor and facilities

Beautiful cosy house, had everything we needed and more for 6 people to stay over NYE, whenever we are back in Salcombe we will be looking to rent. Excellent.

Beautiful property, Newly refurbished and clean. However, I don't think that the property should be advertised as having parking, no matter how small the car is. I feel sorry for the neighbours.

The cottage was lovely, everything had been thought of even having soap and toilet rolls was really handy

Lovely cottage and close enough to the town for shopping and restaurants. Super walks in the area and no need to get in the car!

Excellent Will certainly visit again. Thank you.

Just beautiful in every way.

Attractive small cottage. No real parking unless you have a smart car. Ten mins walk into Salcombe. Top floor maybe a bit tricky to access for the slightly infirm. Otherwise a lovely, clean cosy cottage.

Lovely cottage, very comfortable and great location. We loved our walk along Island Street into the town but also really enjoyed being close to Batson's Creek. We managed to squeeze our car into the parking space at the front of the cottage and didn't use it all week but just walked and ferried everywhere. Thanks for a great holiday.

We were the first guests in this newly refurbished property. Everything was spotless and the owner's had obviously spent alot of time thinking about the design. Only minor issue, is parking, unless you drive a tiny smart car consider there no parking at the property, the good news is there is an excellent weekly parking permit available which covers tons of car parks around the area. Some information about the recycling facilities which are located by the car park nearby would have been useful. Neither of these two tiny issues should detract from how lovely are stay was. We will be back! Thankyou it was a wonderful stay.
